How much air do you run in a Nitto DR 315/35/17 ?
I just got the TT II's and I put the Nitto 315 on the rear.For normal everyday driving how much air you run in them?
Right now I got 20lbs. and still looks like I go a bit lower?
I just want them to wear evenly.
Thanks
Mark

I run 30 psi on the street and have been running 20 psi at the track - will go lower next time, prolly start at 18 psi. My best 60 ft so far at 20 psi is 1.78. Would like to get that down abit

The right air pressure for wide tires can be tricky. I would start with 30psi. When you rotate adjust the air pressure as needed. Center wearing out faster means to much pressure. Edges wearing fast means not enough pressure. but you want to keep the pressure -1 to +1 psi of each other or your car will pull.
Less psi = more contact surface = more friction = more wear
